Abstract excerpt
In-season estimation of wheat grain yield potential is critical for crop management and advancing breeding efforts. Spike and spikelet counts serve as key indicators directly linked to yield potential, yet their assessment still relies on manual counting which is both labor-intensive and error-prone. High-resolution digital (RGB) imagery combined with deep learning-based object detection methods has substantially...
